This book offers a timely report on key
theories and applications of soft-computing. Written in honour of Professor
Gaspar Mayor on his 70th birthday, it primarily focuses on areas related to his
research, including fuzzy binary operators, aggregation functions,
multi-distances, and fuzzy consensus/decision models. It also discusses a
number of interesting applications such as the implementation of fuzzy
mathematical morphology based on Mayor-Torrens t-norms. Importantly, the
different chapters, authored by leading experts, present novel results and
offer new perspectives on different aspects of Mayor's research. The book also
includes an overview of evolutionary fuzzy systems, a topic that is not one of Mayor's main areas of interest, and a final chapter
written by the Spanish pioneer in fuzzy
logic, Professor E. Trillas. Computer and decision scientists, knowledge
engineers and mathematicians alike will find here an authoritative overview of
key soft-computing concepts and techniques.
